To My Grandmother Rosaura,
Who I love so much.
You were always so happy to see me, as I was just as happy to see you.
You helped take care of me and always fed me. You will always be in my heart and prayers. We made each other laugh and were so happy to spend time together.
God Bless You.
Your Grandson,
Frankie.

The thing that i will always remember, and miss, about Grandma is her sense of humor. Whenever Grandma, Myrta and Mom would try to teach me spanish, we would all be in the kitchen doing something like cooking, they would all say something in spanish and translate it. Then I would say it, and Grandma would always be the first one to laugh at how silly I sounded.

I also remember Grandma telling old stories in spanish to all of us. Everyone laughed, then Charlie and I would ask what she said, we wouldn't figure it out until about 10 mintes later.

These are just some of the memories I have of my Grandma, but they are the ones that will always stay with me

Podria decir tantas cosas pero, empezare por decir que para mi "Rosy" como la llame asi desde el principio que la conoci, un nombre como se le llamara a una muchachita, al principio no le gustaba que la llamara asi pero poco a poco le gusto que la llamara "Rosy".
Para mi ella no murio, para mi esta viva esta con nosotros en un lugar muy especial en nuestro corazon de todos los que la quisimos, estimamos y apreciamos.
Ella nos enseno mucho, y eso es lo que valoraremos toda la vida, ella me dijo un dia "que viene despues de la muerte" y yo le dije " viene algo precioso viene la paz, la tranquilidad y uno se encontrara con Dios nuestro senor, no tema solo vaya a la luz y todo estara bien"
Y ella se quedo tranquila, pensando y yo le pregunte, si eso pasara que mensage usted les dejaria a sus hijos:
Ella dijo: "Que no lloren por mi,porque donde quiera que este yo, estare bien, y tratare de ver que ellos esten tambien bien".
Pienso que llenaria un libro con todas las anecdotas que yo vivi con ella, solo les digo para finalizar
"Siempre te recordare mi querida "ROSY"".
